In 2010, the Year of the Tiger, the Tiger Claw Foundation pledged to support WildAid in its efforts to preserve wild tigers. The following year, the Tiger Claw Foundation extended that pledge to encompass all the endangered species that WildAid seeks to protect. The WildAid Tiger Claw Championship has been held every year since, expanding in 2015 to include Teen and Pre-teen Champions. It has grown into the most high profile Showcase Championship of the Tiger Claw Elite Championships
